Should I stop writing this character now?
One character in a story I've been working on for a while now, is starting to grate. I am wondering if this has happened to other writers and if so how did u cope with the situation?
All started well and continued in an entertaining manner so I have wrung quite a lot of mileage out of them so far.
Any suggestions?

Is this character integral to the continuing story and plot?
Could he/she be "moved into the background" and not be an active character? More of a presence that affects how other characters react without being directly involved in the plot. (if that makes sense).

I am considering each and every one of them.

It matters not that you've not finished many of your stories. You have built the foundation. One day you will read one and know immediately how it should end. Remember the saying you've surely read: If you don't write anything, you have nothing to edit. You have a treasure trove of work at your fingertips, that one day, will, with work, surely be publishable.
